I got rejected by that trial, as I was due to have elective surgery within the trial window. Bah! I wanted to do it, so I could feel like I was helping out for the greater good, I wonder if they'd have me now ? probably not !

I'm in the wrong geographical area. Phone GP practice again today. Still no appointments available at PCN centre. However, was told to wander down towards the end of their sessions to see if they had any spare vaccine from non-shows. Giving blood on Friday so can't try until the weekend. |

There's definitely a trial like that happening in Southampton as my friend is participating. She actually got two vaccine doses 4 weeks apart (obviously doesn't know which). She's already had one blood test, and had another next Friday. After that she doesn't expect another until August. I think she will be given some information about what the blood test showed at her next visit. |

DH had AZ vaccination Sunday. 12 hours later he had a terrible migraine style headache lasting 24 hours. It was then replaced by a fever for the next 24 hours. Today he's a lot better but still has an increased temp. Two days off work. His arm is fine though |
